Short, Self Contained, Correct Example + maybe that can help
if it fails then How to Use Editor Panes and Text Panes (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components) maybe this can help

and if all fails then look here

If what you are doing is getting the text from the component and writing it to a file, it doesn't surprise me that no formatting information is saved. I'm no pro at this, not by any means, but I believe that you want to use an editor kit, here the RTFEditorKit, to help you write to a file. I recommend you google on the terms:

java jtextpane documents saving opening RTFEditorKit

and you'll likely find useful articles such as this one:

Hope this helps, and please let us know if you eventually work this out or not, and if so, how.

thanks for ur reply,i saw the link for the artivle u hav posted but in that it is written that rtfeditorkit doesnt save the formatting in the file....
i understood that i have to use editor kit,i will try using other kits..

Which article are you referring to? And where does it say that formatting is not saved?

The tutorial article says "Editor panes, by default, know how to read, write, and edit plain, HTML, and RTF text. Text panes inherit this capability but impose certain limitations. A text pane insists that its document implement the StyledDocument interface. HTMLDocument and RTFDocument are both StyledDocuments so HTML and RTF work as expected within a text pane."

The javafaq.nu article gives code and says "Save the RTF file and open it in another RTF-aware application (such as Microsoft Word) to verify compatibility."

i saw in the reply above u that they doesnt save formatting,
actually i am creating a editor which supports rtf,txt,java,c,cpp formats.
if i use rtfeditor kit for saving it,will it save the formatting for any of the formats specified above?? or shall i use any other editor kits will help me in this??

i saw in the reply above u that they doesnt save formatting,

I didn't say that. I just stated that how you are using it will not save formatting -- big difference.

i got a new problem with rtfeditor kit,if i use it the textpane is not supporting the undo/redo

please help me in this regard

[pbrockway2]

the textpane is not supporting the undo/redo

Have you looked at "5. Word Processor: part V - Clipboard and undo/redo"? in the Tutorial Fu linked to? It might pay to be specific If there is a problem with that implementation (eg you can't see how it transaltes into your application, or it doesn't do something you want etc).
